Interesting thread and I like Ponters have been thinking of adding a bike I can just cruise on so I can strip the Falcon of the bags and mounts and just use her for fun. I was hoping to hit the Ohio mile in 2015 depending on what dates the choose and how much I have to do just to pass the safety inspection portions of the LSR rules. Then you have a few controlled passes to do just to be able to run at 200 mph.  The bike can be stable enough up there if set up right. I found it better to raise the rear up and transfer more weight to the front. I have not sun mine up as fast as she will go yet but with a 9k rev limit and the right conditions 230 should be a good number. If the wind conditions is right. I have to wtch the wind and found out the hard way. Laying on the tank and keeping my arms in line with the handle bars so they cut the wind not your arms. Also I use the drivers back rest to hold me in the saddle or my shinny arse would flop like a dirty rug. And with not much drag theoretically 239 with a 240/50 maybe a touch mot with a 240/ 40 as the diameter is a wee bit larger. The bike hums pretty good in fourth at 180 mph (GPS). and I have had mine to 7800 in fifth so far 5 times doing fueling test and recording but did not have the GPS on then. mathematically 207 mph  was going to go for more but a copper came by and I thought I was busted. Luckily he was heading back for his change of sift and I did not know they used the road I tested on. You have to have the right road and the right conditions. September 19 2009 when my mom died I was in the right frame of mind and did not care!!!!!!!

I found out its not the right set of balls but frame of mind so be careful there is not much room for error up there!!!!!!
